Editors note: what follows is an account from a press event in July for Zack Snyder's latest movie Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole 3D that we mistakenly attended not knowing it was a movie for children.

We have to wonder if Warner Brothers is having a bit of buyers remorse on Sucker Punch, the next film from “visionary director” Zack Snyder. Even before Watchmen was released, it seemed like a dicey proposition for the studio to get behind: an R-rated, $100 million, 1950s-set action film that Mr. Snyder has described as Read More

“I don’t think people want to watch a show of a woman involved in putting innocent people in jail,” said Sam Zherka, perhaps optimistically. Zherka, owner of the libertarian-leaning Read More
Uh oh. Last December we wrote about how much I am Legend freaked us out (seriously, we think the workout our heart got during the film qualifies as aerobic activity). The movie, based on the 1954 Richard Matheson book and starring Will Smith, laid out a vision of New York City almost completely wiped Read More
One day you're a New York City subway toll booth worker, then you total your car in an accident that lands you in physical therapy, which is sort of boring (plus you have no cash to buy a new car). So, you enter a screenwriting competition on a whim, hoping to score some prize money. Read More

Let the countdown begin. In addition to the rest of the holiday-season avalanche of awards announcements, 10-Best and 10-Worst lists, and last-minute openings to lure Christmas shoppers, moviegoers are now scratching their heads over two movies with titles similar enough to result in shopping-mall panic. Behold: in this corner, The Good German. In that corner, Read More
My dream is to make a rhinestone-studded ceiling,” said Jennifer Oz LeRoy, owner of Tavern on the Green. “I think that it would be fantastic and definitely one-of-a-kind,” she said. “I would just have to make sure that the glue was really good so that there weren’t rhinestones falling into people’s lobster bisque.” Ms. LeRoy, Read More

“Using every threat, contract, and influence I could muster”: That’s John Huston in his 1980 autobiography, An Open Book, on how he fought Warner Bros. to release his 1967 adaptation of Carson McCullers’ novella, Reflections in a Golden Eye, in a diffuse amber wash that would give the film a golden tint.

Stagecoach is to American movies what The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is to American literature.
